I’m studying for my Geography class and need an explanation.

Globalization Exercise:

An Introduction to the world

Examine the increasing interconnection of the world which is occurring as a result of advances in communication, transportation, and other technologies.In this assignment, you will enhance your awareness of the magnitude at which globalization has affected your life personally. Carefully follow these steps to complete the assignment:

1. Select 10 consumer goods that you own and use on a regular basis. These goods could be as simple as the ball point pen that you use in class, to an article of clothing, to the car you drive to school, etc. 8 of those items must come from outside of the United States (and choose items manufactured in at least 6 different countries). Then perform the following to complete the assignment.

A) Identify the country and the city that the item was manufactured in. To do this, look for the information directly on the product. Or, you may have to look up the information on the Internet using the name brand. (For example, I have a shirt that is of the brand “Mudoc”. The tag on it says “made in Argentina”. But, it doesn’t tell me which city. So, I typed the brand name into the Google search engine on the Internet and found the company’s website. On the website, I clicked on “About Us”, and found the following information: Moduc t-shirts are are manufactured in Buenos Aires, Argentina). If you cannot find the exact city after searching use the country capital as the default location.

B) Record the product, manufacturing location and region for all 10 products in the following format (refer to the map below to discover the regions as we will define them):
